AFS & Kerberos Best Practices Workshop 2011: June 13 to 17 - Registration Open

[Jeffrey Altman]

The AFS and Kerberos Best Practices Workshop Committee is happy to
announce that registration for the 2011 AFS and Kerberos Best Practices
Workshop is now open.  As previously announced, this year's tutorials
and workshop sessions will be held as an electronic conference which we
hope will permit a broader range of attendees to participate in a year
of reduced travel budgets.

This year we have two new tutorial instructors with significantly
updated course materials.  We welcome Kim Kimball as our new AFS
instructor and Simon Wilkinson as our new Kerberos instructor.  Kim's
experience as an AFS trainer dates back to his days with IBM/Transarc
and Simon has been enabling application protocols to authenticate with
Kerberos and GSS-API for nearly a decade.  Both have given numerous
informational and entertaining talks at past workshops.

reports in which attendees tell each other how Kerberos and AFS have
been successfully deployed within their organizations.
